If you're a Met fan, much like if you were a Yankee fan the day before, it was all smiles. Like, even after they went down 2-0 on that wind-dated home run, which I had no idea while I was on the train that was a wind-dated home run. I thought Freddie Peralta gave up a 500-foot bomb. No, you could tell because Carson Binge was kind of just settling under it, and he just kept walking back to the fence and like, wait, that's out. Yeah. That was a BS little fly ball to right field.

And then the... kind of just settling under it, and he just kept walking back to the fence and like, wait, that's out.

Yeah.

That was a BS little fly ball to right field. And then the Mets, and here's what I loved about opening days. About five different things we'll get to, and we'll hear from you early and often, 888-808-101-19, whether it was the fun of being there, whether it was the traffic you hit, whether you think the Mets are going to want a hundred and five get whatever it is.

I loved early on in this game just the way they grinded Paul Skeens. Like they didn't pound him, Tiki. They didn't hit line drives off of them. Yeah, there was some bloops. Yes, O'Neill Cruz doesn't know to play centerfield. I get all that. but how about the Lindor at that? How about the Robert Jr. at bat?

How about the way they grinded the best pitcher

in baseball to where

they put themselves in a spot

where a fly ball to center field could

fall in or a line drive to center field could be

misjudged or a fly ball by Bobeshack

could turn into a sacrifice fly? Even Lindor

taking the extra base on the Soto Blu.

Like, that was a grinded out, 98 Yankees kind of inning. And no, I didn't compare them to the 98 Yankees. You calm down over there. I'm calm. Calm down. I'm just glad we're not doing the open today, which is the best team in baseball, the Yankees of the Mets. Right. We're not there yet.

But just like the Yankees, though, on Wednesday night, the Yankees of the Mets. Right. We're not there yet. But just like the Yankees,

though, on Wednesday night, the Mets manufactured runs. Now, some of it was mistakes because of the

pirates. And eventually, I think the Mets made you feel good because they started smashing the

ball out of the ballpark. But if you can create runs in multiple different ways, then you got to feel really good about opening day.

Now, the only thing that you worry about from this start for Freddie Peralta is that he gave up two home runs.

Yeah, exactly.

The first one doesn't even count.

Exactly.
